The Yellow Fever Epidemic.

WASHINGTON, Oct. Sturgeon Gen
eral Hamilton this morning received a
telegram from DR.. Wall, at Tampa,
Fla, saying there had been four
deaths from yellow fever and that
there were about twenty cases. Wall
adds: "a few of the cases have passed
the fever stage of seventy two hours.
Many people have fled. 1t may be nee
essary to establish a camp of refuge in
the country. The mails can be fumi-
gated"
A telegram was received from Sanford,
Fla. signed by DR.. Wyley, president of
the State Of Health Protective Associa-
ton, requesting the loan of tents for the
refugees from the epidemic at Tampa.
DR.. Hamilton ordered the tents sent. He
has telegraphed to Col. Haines, superin-
tendent of the Plant line of steamers,
and the Savannah and Florida railroad,
stating that in his judgment sleeping cars
should not be allowed to go beyond PaIat-
ka until the Tampa epidemic is over and
the panic shall have ceased.

MINNEAPOLIS. Oct. S.-The general

session to-day and then adjourned until
Monday, in order to give the various
committees an opportunity to do some

sacted was the appointment of a commit.

and the adoption of a protest, which was
ordered sent to the secp etary of the in

London's Starving Poor.

LONDON, Oct. S.-Two hundred OF the
poor, homeless and unemployed persons
who sleep at night in Trafalgar square
to day paraded in a body through the
principal streets in the West End. They
carried a black banner bearing in white
letters the inscription, I'VE will have
work or bread A large police force
accompanied the procession, which event
ually returned to Trafalgar square and
with the followers attracted held a meet
ing. The orators who addressed the
assemblage described the hardships ofthe
lot of those whose only resting place in
London at night was the public squares
and declared that the only means they
had of drawing the attention OF the public
to their condition was by such demonstra-
tons as they had Just made. The meet
ing adopted a resolution to reassemble in
the same place next Monday and continue
the parade daily until relief was afforded.

Robert Garrett,
Who Threatens to Oppose the

Opinions of the Press on the
Telegraph Deal.
Garrett Excited.

NEW York, Oct. Sit was an
nounced this morning IN apparently good
authority that Robert Carrot %emphatically
denied that the Baltimore & Ohio tele-
graph has been absorbed by the Western
Union. He is represented as saying that
he will fight the alleged transfer, and feels
sure of winning.
Garrett to day refused to see the re-
porters or to say whether the great tele-
graph deal was legally completed or not.
Edward Stokes smiled as he sat in his
private Office when a reporter accosted
him with the QUESTION:
Did Mr.. Garrett say to you last night
that there would be no deal with the
Western Union?"
He said there would be fun somewhere.
He was very much excited, and abused
Gould without stint IF there had been
a trade" he said, 1T wouldn't hold
water"
did he threaten to sue Mr.. Gould p
Yes. He threatened all sorts of
things. Said he had been sold out by his
friends, and that he would get even all
around.
DO you think Garrett was in earnest
when he was talking last night2'
He was, or | was more deceived by a
mans actions than | ever was before.
He looked angry enough to fight, and
when he said he would make fur fly he
looked capable of it."

A Quiet Day Fishing.

MADISON, Wis, Oct. S.-This is good
fishing weather and the president and
his companions went fishing to-day on
Lake Mendoza. A steam launch con-
veyed them to the island in the lake,
from whence they went to the fishing
grounds in small boats.
The party returned at 6 o'clock. They
had excellent luck and brought back be-
tween thirty and forty good sized fish.
The president said he enjoyed the day
immensely and his admiration for the
scenery of Lake Mendoza is boundless,
The party dined this evening with Col.
Villas. There were present Chamberlain of
the Wisconsin university, and wife. A
public reception was given at the Villas
mansion between 9 and IL this evening.
L. has now been settled that Col. and

Visitors to the President.

MADISON, Oct. S.-A special train,
composed of three private cars belonging
to Cornelius Vanderbilt, Chauncey De.
pew and Marvin Hughitt, president of
the Northwestern railroad, and having on
board a dozen high railroad dignitaries,
reached this place at noon. Vanderbilt,
Depew, Hughitt, and Walter Webb
took carriages to the Villas mansion to pay
respects to the president of the United
States, but he had not returned from
fishing, and the callers, having left cards,
returned to the train, which left here half
an hour later for Duluth. These gentle
men expect to be in ST. Paul Monday
and will probably meet the president

PORTLAND, Oct. S.-The printers in all

Multnomah Typographical Union, of
which they are members. Last week
they notified the employers that after
Nov. | nine hours would constitute a
DAYS work, but they would demand ten
hours pay. The employers have held
several meetings this week and resolved to
resist the demand and to discharge the
men tonight unless they receded from
the demand. This leaked out and at 8
O'Clock this afternoon, without formal
notice and without giving a reason, the
men put on their coats and left. The
employing printers will endeavor to sup.

was desired to impress upon me that
certain individual pointed out was
man OF some Importance, the informant
would jerk his head mysteriously toward
the object of his attention and then PRO-
coed to puff out his checks and initiate
himself. Before l had been in Asiutic
Turkey many days could tell by the ex-
tent and volume OF this imitation whether
the person indicated was an cffendi, a hey
or pasha. In the case of an ordinary
Turkish gentleman of no particular i'm
portance beyond his own village, my in
formant would puff his checks and initiate
his stomach in " moderate degree only
but in the case of II pasha he would swell
himself up like an inflated toad.
Among the Persians the signs and
gestures differ but little from those
anon. the Turks in respect to eating,
drinking or sleeping. In regard to money,
however, there is a complete change. The
Pcrsians are money loving people; they
throw their whole soul into the subject of
money. The koran is the c3rrcnt coin Of
the shah's dominions, and the mere men
ton OF the word causes the cupidity CT the
average Persian f, fairly bristle thu ugh
his yellow hide. His mute expression for
money to the stranger whom he thinks
doesn't understand the language is to rub
the thumb and two first fingers together
as though testing the texture Of n sample
of silk. When he does this tie Pcrsian's
eyes glstcn nvariciously as though the
mere suggestion of kcrans were sufficient
to thrill him through and through. In
stead of shaking his head for negative
the Persian draws that expressive mem
her of his body backward, clevates his
eyebrows and says ''Estch." When lie
wishes to Indicate any particular course,
Instead of pointing there with his hand lie
gives his chin an impressive elevation in
that direction.
Aside from these few ecccntricities the
wonderful sign language that may be said
to be universal almost, differs but little
between the various nations of the world.
irrespective of race or language OF nation
ality, one person can readily make an
other understand that Ne wants to cat or
sleep or drink, or that he wants to find
the way to certain place. providing, Of
course, the name of the place is known to
